SECUREIT, a prominent fire prevention and security solutions company in south Wales, is set for a new chapter of growth and innovation under the guidance of its new commercial director. The Brynmenyn based company has secured the services of experienced former international chief financial officer, Mike Gahan, who will be closely monitoring the company’s commercial performance.
Before joining SECUREIT, the experienced finance man and private equity investor had a successful career in finance and mergers and acquisitions. He served as the chief financial officer for several profitable businesses both in the UK and overseas. His expertise extends beyond corporate finance; he has also invested in and mentored various businesses at different stages of growth. Recently, he has been running his own Gwent-based property development business and building his bespoke rural family home, alongside engaging in business angel investing and mentoring ambitious business owners.
Gahan joins SECUREIT as a part-time commercial director. He confirms that his involvement with the security sector began through personal experience working with the company he has joined: “I have used SECUREIT on a number of personal and business projects and found the owner Philip Popham and the team to be great people to work with. When Philip came forward and asked for my help to grow the business, I was happy to get involved as I could see the enormous potential for this quality operation to expand,” he explained.
As the newly appointed commercial director, his responsibilities span across strategy, finance, sales, and operations. He has stated that his primary objective is to ensure the business has a solid foundation for growth: “My main role is to ensure the business has a solid platform for sustainable profitable growth and that we can truly deliver the best service to our customers, whilst advising Philip and the SECUREIT management team on how to grow and expand successfully.”
With a wealth of experience of operating in south Wales, Gahan brings an abundance of expertise in growing businesses, acquiring businesses, and driving significant value enhancement. His strategic vision is geared towards creating a growth strategy and steering the company towards successful delivery of its medium to long-term goals.
He continued: “I have successfully grown businesses, acquired businesses and driven significant value enhancement. I can help the team of industry certified CCTV, fire and security solutions professionals create a growth strategy and ensure we navigate towards successful delivery of our medium to long-term goals.”
From day one, Gahan has set out a serious manifesto for what he wants to achieve in the next stage of the this established family business’s growth. He envisions the company becoming a major force in the fire and security solutions sector in south Wales.
He added: “I want the company to grow to be the largest fire and security solutions provider in south Wales.”
Looking ahead, he sees even greater potential for the company on a national scale.
He said: “Within the next five years I would like to see the company expand to become not only the largest fire prevention, CCTV, monitoring and security installations provider in the region, but to also be recognised as a significant national service provider.”
With his diverse business sector background and strategic vision, Gahan is poised to lead SECUREIT towards a commercial sustainable future. His expertise in finance, growth strategy, and value enhancement will undoubtedly contribute to the company’s success. As SECUREIT embarks on this new chapter, the company is well-positioned with its new director to achieve its ambitious goals and expand its footprint both in south Wales and across the UK.
